"I refuse to change my mind"

[paulpablo]

I think there's a thin line between being open minded and being a gullible person/conspiracy theorist.

Also a thin line between being shewd and decisive vs being close minded.

I think it's fair to say there are types of religious people who are close minded.

I once saw a video of a Muslim claiming the Quran encourages people to be open minded and question the Quran.

To be fair the Quran does ask the reader to ponder upon their existence but it also says either believe the Quran or have your flesh roasted to a crisp, recreated around your body and roasted again repeatedly.

You can't really claim to be open minded while saying there's something that is definitely right no matter what.

That mentality is definitely not restricted to religious people though.

Also there might be some usefulness in close mindedness to an extent, regarding what's right and wrong.
